Thomas Hager: Tell me. What other things have you patented?

Linus Pauling: Well, let's see. I patented, during the war, a class of composite explosives - propellants.
And it may be that they are used, to some extent, now. I never got any royalties
from that, because the government had an irrevocable royalty-free license, and nobody
else was interested in the powder for propelling bazookas and things like that.
